1963 SELECTMEN'S REPORT
To the Citizens of Duxbury:
We hereby submit the One Hundred and Eleventh Report of the Officers and Committees of the Town Government of Duxbury.
in sti
This year marks the opening of the new route #3 limited access highway which will greatly improve traveling to communities both north and south. With it come added problems to the Town of Duxbury. These have been anticipated and will be greatly controlled by our Zoning By-laws, increased Police Department, and the new ambulance. We hope this highway will add to the convenience and prosperity of the Town and not become a discouraging problem.
We have completed the repairs to the Powder Point bridge with our own employees. Their experience in the routine maintenance work on the bridge enabled the Town to save considerable money on this work.
Space in the Abbot Building has been refinished to accommodate the Conservation Commission, which the Selectmen appointed in pursuance of the vote under Article 17.
The last word from the Division of Waterways in- formedus that bids for completion of the dredging of the boat basin will be opened in July. It is hoped that this work will be done and completed in the fall.
The ambulance, which the Town voted to purchase

for the Fire Department, is busy and has rendered great assistancetothetown. Asa matter of good business we believe that a charge should be made to cover the cost of this service as most Sickness and Accident policies provide for ambulance costs.
The Beach Patrol has rendered a valuable service in controlling actions on Duxbury Beach. There are still some details tobe worked out to improve this. The Duxbury Beach Association has been cooperating with us with great interest.
Chapter #90 work on West Street has been started and carried as far as the available funds would permit and we hope will be completed this year. The opening of new Route #3 has greatly increased the traffic on West Street. It is hoped that Chapter #90 funds will be available to complete this work to the Route #14 inter- change. It has been suggested that the State may give special financial assistance in the stretch from the jun- ction of Church and West Streets to the Route #14 inter- change.
The construction of new homes continues at an ac- celerated rate. Building permits issued in the first part of the year 1963 have been above the average for the last few years and many of these homes are in the upper cost brackets.
The school population continues to show a marked growth and we refer you to the School Department Re- ports.
Recreational facilities have been asked for by the residents of the "Crooked Lane" area of the Town. We
134
believe this is a reasonable request and warrants the support of the voters.
The Police Department finds a marked increase in requests for services. Our investigation indicates more manpower is a great need. We believe this should be done by full-time regular patrolmen rather than tempor- ary intermittent men.
Drainage problems have developed along a few high- ways. These have required the installation of more catch basins, drywells andthe extension of drain pipes. We expect to have more problems of this type along some of our highways where no provisions were made for the disposal of surface water when the roads were built.
The acceptance of several new roads, as voted at the last Town Meeting, have added to the work of the Highway Department, especially in snow and ice remov- al. Our present department has been able to do this with its present crew.
The printing of the revised Protective By-laws and Building Code has been completed.
Our thanks and appreciation goes to all the elected officers, department heads and committeemen for their cooperation, assistance and devoted services during the year 1963.
Respectfully submitted,
PHILIP W. DELANO, Chairman JAMES H. W. JENNER J. NEWTON SHIRLEY Board of Selectmen
